Photography and Memory by Stephany Poce

How Photography Affects Memory by Stephany Poce We take more photos now than ever. However, do we still value them like we did in the past? As a photographer, I take countless photos every day. I take them with professional cameras, different lenses, and with smart phone cameras. I’m always trying to get the right angle, feeling, shade, aperture, focus, and lighting. It takes patience to get it right. Some people prefer completely candid shots but I’m not one of those. Photography & Memory by Stephany Poce Growing up both my mother and father were always snapping shots of our family on vacation at Disneyland, at the beach, on my birthday, the first day of school, and on and on….   My mother would say to me, “ Stephany smile for the camera but look natural” which was always a challenge for me.

Life of a Nanny - by Stephany Poce

Image
Working as a part-time nanny. I really enjoy caring for the two children Max and Jenny. They are adorable and energetic young toddlers. They love playing hide and seek and video games. Jenny is 3 and Max is 4. One of their favorite activities that they enjoy is building sand castles at the beach.  Mostly they just take the buckets and create little towers with them. Another activity they both love is the slides at the playgrounds and of course, the swings. I'm fortunate to love my job which allows me the flexibility of continuing my photography studies.

If you can't think of a really good reason to zoom or pan, don't. Keep in mind, some directors like Spielberg and Hitchcock have shot entire feature films without zooming one single time. Instead of zooming, consider stopping tape and moving in closer to your subject. Then, you can edit it later. If you must pan (moving from side-to-side, moving up or down is called a "tilt"), move slower than your instincts tell you to. Almost every beginner video has a pan that is so fast that it elicits laughter among the initiated. And, by the way, don't call what you're doing with that...
